US Scientists and the National Federation of the Blind are developing a car for the blind and will present a prototype next year

Good Idea?

Makes me wonder how succesful it would be avoiding accidents, e.g. kids running into road, etc. Werent they also making a SUV in the states that could drive itself? Like the BMW on Top Gear, but with cameras, sensors, etc, not just relying on GPS
